Shop November Birthstone Jewelry at Helzberg Diamonds

The November birthstone is citrine. This stone is known for being bright and sunny, which is exactly what many people need when a November winter sets in. Citrine is said to have a warm, optimistic, calming energy, and legend says that it brings a great fortune to all who wear it.

Birthstones are gems and other minerals that are associated with a month. This is a tradition that dates back to Biblical times, and through history it was customary to wear the stone associated with the current month during that time, then switch to the next birthstone during the next month. In addition, this was before stones could be identified as precisely as they can be today, so the identities of some of the original stones are unknown. It's only in the last century that the current list has been standard, and since then, it has been more appropriate to wear your birthstone all year 'round.
